The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 65 Discussion on Pond Digging
After Qiu Sheng and Du Juan finished their meal and left, Ye Qing called the Ye family including Wu Yan to hold a meeting - they wanted to dig a pond.

After Ye Qing closed the door of the main room, he took out a piece of rough and yellowed paper from his pocket - the design drawing of the pond that he worked hard for two days.

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are very expensive to farmers, rice paper is even more luxurious and impractical, not to mention, some villagers are reluctant to buy straw paper to wipe their buttocks, and wipe it with two bamboo slices after finishing.

Although the Ye family didn't save to this extent, the family made do with rough and yellowed paper, and used charcoal black branches for pen and ink. It was quite hard when drawing drawings, and their hands were covered with charcoal ashes.

Since this pond is mainly dug to raise snails, the environment in the pond must be suitable for the growth of snails.

The snail likes to inhabit the water environment with rich humus in the bottom mud, such as lakes, ponds, field pits or slow-flowing ditches with luxuriant aquatic plants. They eat moss, etc., and also like to eat artificial feed, such as fruits and vegetables, vegetable leaves, rice bran, wheat bran, soybean flour (cake) and various animal scraps.

Escargot is cold-resistant and afraid of heat. The suitable temperature for its life is 20°C to 28°C. When the water temperature is lower than 10°C or higher than 30°C, it stops feeding, burrows into the soil, and bushes to avoid the cold and heat.When the water temperature exceeds 40°C, the snails will be scalded to death.

Therefore, their small pond must meet many conditions to be suitable for the growth of snails.

Ye Junbei's eyes were eager to try, Ye Pingrong took out the eye bags but did not light the pipe and took two puffs, looking at Ye Qing with complicated eyes.Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xu listened to Ye Qing's eloquent talk, both of them kept faint smiles on their faces.

"Qingqing, but our house is surrounded by earth, mountains and rocks. The pit was dug with a steel pry and a hammer, and there is no mud. There are barren slopes all around, and there are no fallen leaves!" Ye Junbei suddenly anxious With red cheeks, scratching his head, he said anxiously.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xu subconsciously looked at the closed door of the main house. There was a large piece of wasteland in front of their house. The land was barren and the soil was only half a foot. I didn't see how lush it was.The weeds are not lush, where do the deciduous weeds come from?

"Qingqing, digging ponds is no joke..."

"Father, I know this is not a joke, so I asked everyone to discuss it together, I..." Ye Qing suddenly paused, frowning and said: "Father, why don't you light the cigarette? Is it? I'll get it for you!"

"Don't, just keep talking," Mrs. Xu reached out to grab her, and said with a gratified face, "Didn't you say that smoking is bad, your father is quitting smoking!"

Ye Qing immediately looked at Ye Pingrong, Ye Pingrong raised his head and glared at Xu's talkative, then turned his head away with a blushing old face, but raised his hand for Ye Qing to continue.His addiction to smoking is actually very strong, but it is the first time that his precious daughter has grown up to care about him that "smoking is harmful to health".
Besides, there is a pregnant woman at home, and Zhang Xiu's grandson is in his belly. Even if he is reluctant, he must quit smoking for the sake of the healthy birth of his precious grandson.Although, if you still can't quit completely for a while, then use an unlit cigarette bag to get addicted!
"Father, we don't just pick up the snails from the river and raise them for a few days. We can raise the snails that grew up in the natural environment. This can not only ensure that the snails will not die, but also ensure that there will be no shortage of goods during the ban period. The period stipulates fishing, but if we don’t go to the river to pick up snails, there will be less right and wrong, right?”

Ye Pingrong also thinks about it, the people in the two houses of the Ye family are not good people, even though it is forbidden to fish and catch shrimp, if they go to pick up snails and it is rumored that they secretly fish and catch shrimp, the crime will be serious.Since Ye Qing has made a long-term plan, he must support and act.

"Uncle, aunt, don't be afraid if the bottom of the pond is not silt, just throw more water plants into the pond, according to Qingqing, the snails don't just like silt. As for the rotten weeds, we can cut them when we have time. , It’s also okay to pour it into the water to rot. So, don’t worry about it.” Wu Yan said so many words at once, and the Ye family members listened quietly. He blushed a little, but continued: “We have to rush During the flood season, dig out the pond and store the water. Dig the ditches where the mountain water is the most serious, and use the water washed down from the mountain to inject fresh running water, so as to ensure that the snails in the pond will grow well and will not die."

"Papapa..." Ye Qing looked at Wu Yan with a face full of surprise, and applauded him with both hands, it was really good.He actually said 90.00% of what she was about to say. He was so thoughtful!
However, Wu Yan didn't mention one more thing, that is, after changing the water in the living spring, there must be a drainage channel to discharge the sewage, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the water.Otherwise, the water is just neutralized!
"Qingqing, what are you doing?" Ye Junbei looked at Ye Qing with a bewildered face, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I mean Wu Yan said it very well!" After Ye Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Yan again.

Wu Yan received Ye Qing's approval, his cheeks were already blushing.It's too embarrassing for her to praise him like that in front of everyone!

"Qingqing, how do you know so much? Who did you learn from?"

Xu's simple words stunned Ye Qing, she blushed and looked at Xu with flickering eyes.Why did she forget that in this backward place where "women are virtuous without talent", the more she behaves, the more people will doubt her, and the more likely she will reveal that she is not the real Ye Qing in advance.

"Qingqing, why don't you speak?"

Ye Pingrong also noticed that something was wrong with Ye Qing, when he made a sound, everyone in the room looked at her.

Ye Qing was in a hurry, if they knew that she was not the real Ye Qing, would they drive her out of the house?She is really greedy for the warmth and love of this family, and she doesn't want this love to be lost just because her body and soul change hands.

"I learned from Chen Shi's book." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he added very confidently, "Father and mother, I really learned from Chen Shi. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

She dared to say that because the Xu family and Ye Pingrong would never go to Chen Shi, and the Ye family and the Chen family would never have anything to do with each other again, why bother to break the current peace just because of such a trivial matter?
Since Ye Qing said so, this matter will stop here, after arranging various matters of digging the pond, everyone dispersed.

As soon as Ye Qing returned to the house, he collapsed powerlessly on the bed, how long can he keep this secret?
